The preseason finale game won’t mean anything to the starters, but it will mean everything to so many players desperately wanting to show enough to secure a roster spot. The Dolphins at this moment have 90 players on the roster and they must cut that down to 53 by Saturday. Think about that, 37 players will be removed from the roster. There are a couple that may end up on the 8 game IR, and still others will eligible to be placed on the practice squad. For all the others, this is at least temporarily, the end of their quest to be on an NFL roster. Some will get picked up by other teams quickly, and others may get picked up when a need arises.
Another factor involved in the cut downs is the strategy by the FO and coaches as to how many players they want to carry at certain positions. I’ll start on offense with the QB’s. Historically, we have carried only 2 QB’s, and I expect that to continue. I think David Fales will get the #2 spot, and Brock Osweiler will be cut. At WR, it depends on whether we carry 5 or 6WR’s, but last year it was 5. If we stretch it to 6, then it’s between Leonte Carroo, Francis Owusu, Rashawn Scott and Malcolm Lewis. When we drafted LC3, and tried to look at the bright side, I hoped maybe he would be like Anquan Boldin lite and maybe push Parker for a starting job. Now, LCIII is on the cusp of getting removed from the roster, and it’s real. My hope is if we do carry 6, Owusu gets the nod.
The RB’s will most likely be 4, and I expect those to be Frank Gore, Kenyan Drake, Kalen Ballage and Senorise Perry. I know Langford has history with Gase, but Perry plays ST’s as a KR and he has shown some ability to make some tough runs, so he gets the edge.
At TE, the obvious 2 are the recent draft picks Mike Gesicki and Durham Smythe, and I personally like Gray for his ability to block both in line and also as an H-back/FB, and I believe they like Derby’s potential, so that makes 4 TE’s.
On the O-line, the injury to Ted Larsen will probably open a roster spot, unless he’ll be OK for the opener. We know it’s probably not serious, but still may keep him out for a weeks. Guys that were on the bubble like C Mike Matthews and OG Connor Hilland may get a shot if Larsen will be out for a while. Asiata definitely just moved up and should make the roster.
On the D-line, there will definitely be some tough cuts. With the trade that brought us Robert Quinn, and the draft pick of Charles Harris last season, we have a lot of DE’s, but at least one of them (William Hayes) can slide inside in rush packages, which gives us more flexibility, and may bump a potential DT off the roster. We know Quinn, Wake, Phillips, Godchaux, Spence, Hayes, Branch, and Taylor are in, that’s 8, which leaves maybe 2 more spots for any combo of Malveaux, Langford, Pittman and Woodard. Tough cuts indeed!
In the secondary, it won’t be easy either, and ST’s may play a big part as to who gets to stay. X and Good Ole Bobby are IN, Reshad Jones, T.J. McDonald, Minkah Fitzpatrick IN, and then I’d have to think Maurice Smith and probably Cordrea Tankersley and Torry McTyer, but Tony Lippett’s health may put him on the IR (8 game), and Walt Aikens and Jordan Lucas are both excellent ST’s players, so that’s maybe one or 2 more roster spots for guys like Cornell Armstrong, Jalen Davis and Tavese Calhoun.
At LB, it’s a little muddled, with Stephone Anthony not really showing up, he could be in danger of getting cut. We know Kiko Alonso, Raekwon McMillan and Jerome Baker are starters, but Mike Hull’s availability, or lack thereof may open up an opportunity for someone else. Garvin is a solid vet who is a ST’s ace, so he’s in, Chase Allen was a former starter for us due to injuries, and he showed well enough, but the injury to Hull could possibly open the door for either Frank Ginda or Quentin Poling.
The final battle is ST’s, where kickers Jason Sanders and Greg Joseph have squared off all during TC and the preseason. I think Sanders is in, and then we have P Matt Haack, LS God John Denney.
So that’s what I think about the roster, and Preseason Game IV is tomorrow against the Falcons in Atlanta at 7PM, the game will be replayed on NFL Network on Saturday morning at 6AM.
Finsmob Unleashed 
My FF draft is tonight. Let’s see if I can repeat. 🙂
I’d trade Parker for Fowler’s jersey…
————
OH! I hadn’t realized that Bryce Petty was ineligible for a practice squad. That sucks!
So with THAT stated, I suppose I’m looking at Logan Woodside… should he be cut by the Bengals. Because OBVIOUSLY, neither of Brock Osweiler and David Fales are P/S eligible.
WE WILL have a QB on our P/S… right?!!
Vincent Taylor has played very well in the preseason, and he showed something last year too. No shot he gets cut
Absolutely right, dude! Taylor is in NO danger of being cut.
Ballage doesn’t look that big.
Im glad to see that Owusu, Lippett and Matthews will be starting, and i hope playing a good chunk of time.
This kid Buddy Howell looks good.
^
Buddy Howell… nice drive for that cat! Brock Osweiler? Still staring his receivers down.
I don’t buy being able to tell if a QB is staring down a receiver watching live tv
I’m not selling it, either, my man.
And Osweiller was money on the first drive.
He’d BETTER be money… against a 3rd-4th team Defense this evening. But he’s still staring his receivers down.
see above
3rd & 4th team defense against 3rd and 4th team offense.
Exactly!
Nice catch by Caroo
There’s a helmet foul
Nope just a defenseless player
BALLAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GOOD JOB, O-LINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How the hell do you get hurt when the returner doesn’t return it?
Good question. Cornell Armstrong.

And a very good tip it was!
Now let us see how David Fales does…
lot of quick underneath stuff
Indeed
CAN’T SEE the game tonight but I hear ex-FAU back up player Buddy Howell is having a good evening so far. If either Howell or Joseph make the team, a little FAU flavor finally will be added to this mix. As of right now, NO FAU player or FIU player has ever played for the Dolphins.
———————–
SPEAKING OF FAU, my old alma mater takes on mighty Oklahoma right in their own back yard in Norman, Oklahoma in just over 40 hours from now. The reality is that the Sooners are favored by 21 (down from the opening spread of 24 points). Less than 1 per cent of teams who are 21 or more point underdogs end up winning Division I NCAA football games, so I’m NOT expecting a miracle. What I WOULD LIKE is an effort similar to FAU’s performance against heavily favored Wisconsin in Madison last season. The Owls were in the game most of the way before fading to a 31-14 defeat to a Badger team that went 12-1 last year (including a blowout win over Miami in the Orange Bowl game).
FAU’s two top players are Heisman Trophy candidate Devin “Motor” Singletary, who scored a mind-boggling 32 touchdowns last season from the running back position and Middle Linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair, a terror 230 pounder and the unquestioned leader of this football team’s defense. He WILL play on Sunday next season, as will defensive backs Jalen Young and Shelton Lewis, who were both named to the C-USA first team all-conference team after last season.
The biggest question is at QB, where Chris Robison (a transfer from Oklahoma) and De’Andre Johnson are battling for the top spot. Speedsters Willie Wright and Jovon Durante will test the Sooner’s secondary, as will under rated TE Harrison Bryant, an inviting 6’5″ target who I predict will make some big catches this season.
Three of FAU’s starting five O-Linemen graduated (two are currently in medical school). The three replacements will, in my view, be quite solid by year’s end. But who knows if they’ll be ready right now for Oklahoma’s defensive strength and speed?? And therein lies Lane Kiffin’s biggest challenge: getting this FAU offense rolling early. Last season the Owls AVERAGED nearly 41 points per game and 498 yards total offense per game. Logic says they can’t possibly match those numbers in game one.
Kiffin brought in a new Offensive Coordinator, Charlie Weiss, Jr., the 24 year old son of former Notre Dame and NFL coach Charlie Weiss, Sr., to guide this up tempo offense. Many snickered at this selection. But, maybe, Lane Kiffin will have the last laugh. I sure hope so.
MY PREDICTION: Oklahoma-44, FAU-30. The Owls cover the spread, and maybe, a bit more!!
PS: This high scoring game starts at 12 NOON, eastern time, nationwide on FOX. The over/under is 71 points. Unless the weather is bad, bet the OVER!
Fales is not impressive
I concur, Phelon.
Neither is Langford
I think Osweiller is the back up QB
Good playing by my guy Jalen Davis. I think he goes to our P/S.
Depends on the lippet situation and how well he compared to Armstrong
Some observations from the first quarter.
I want every game this year to open like this game did. 7 for us and three and out for them.
Ballage looks like a nice back. Running and catching.
Defense swarms he ball. I like.
no presnap penalties
our backups want to make the team more than their backups. (or are just better, which makes me feel better about depth.)
21 points in the first quarter!? I wish that could carry over.
Our back ups made their back ups look like they were playing our starters
Weren’t there a bunch of guys here that wanted to draft Benkert? He sucks!
Lou was the biggest supporter that I remember. I didn’t like him
Douchebag doesn’t know QBs
I KNOW!
To be perfectly honest, I did ONE mock draft, where I desperately took Benkert in the 4th round… and even then I had a bad feeling.
Methinks Prof Lou is likely having the worst week of his life, in terms of football… he can’t even hit the water after falling out of his boat. And beyond that, he’s one very messed up individual. He told me that he’s NEVER coming back to this site… and about a month later, he blocked me (for the 2nd time!) on Twitter.
I do NOT want to preclude Prof Lou from coming back, but he’s one very bizarre individual, to be sure.
I REALLY liked seeing Tannehill talking back and forth with Gase on the side line during the game.
up until this evening I would have voted for Fales, hmmmmmm not sure now.
cuts will be tough this year.
THAT IS AWESOME!
Not so bold prediction. We will see some of these dolphin players on teams playing against us this season.
Rockphin, would you then at least ‘consider’ RG3 to be our backup QB… IF he gets cut?
yeah, I think he would be a good choice if the coaches gave it the nod. He seems to me to be pretty equal to Tanny physically so we wouldn’t have to change our play calling all that much. BUT I would have to carry 3 on the roster at first because he doesn’t know the plays. So I don’t think it will happen. As Gase said. The backup is on the team already.
Osweiler is going to give you starter quality but inconsistently, Fales is going to give you mediocre backup level play but on a more consistent basis. Technically it’s better to have consistently average play than off and on starter quality in a backup. Not really sure who they should keep or if they just need to move on from both of them. There are a couple of QB cuts upcoming that would likely make me choose that person over either of those guys
RG3???
See my response about knowing the playbook above.
If RG111 gets cut the Jags will be be the first to snatch him.
Friendly reminder: we’ve got approximately $14.2M in cap space, according to Spotrac. IDEALLY, we’d like to roll that number over to next year. However, if an ideal opportunity presents itself what with the looming cuts…
I really want to roll it over
I can’t imgine a difference maker type player becomes available
We managed to not have a lot of injuries this preseason
Ballage was balling
the up tempo looked good too, even with the backups
Signing out for the night, good peeps.
GO PHINS!!!
HELL YEAH!!!
Jordan Lucas (PSU) with the INT!!!
LOL about letting Logains call the plays in the first half. He says to Gase, hey you only scored 24 points in the first half wth Logains calling the plays. Gase just smiled and walked away
Nogtih MF13ss!
Carroo seems to have given up.
Capuuuuuuuuut
(Blowing in a conch)
Capuuuuuuuuut
I want real games to go this way for us this year!!
Phish did you see my post about the MetLife takeover yesterday?
No. What did you say?
That it didn’t seem likely to happen
Bummer
I mean for a group of people from this blog
Dolfansnyc is doing it
I just don’t think I can go
Well, I may still go, but I would prefer to go with folks from here.
I think teams have to declare how much they intent to roll over I don’t think it’s a matter of just whatever is left over. I’m not sure when the deadline is for declaring that amount.
Lucas playing hard
One more thing before leaving…
Krishna, I harbor NO resentment toward you, friend. We can agree to disagree ALL DAY(!)… I choose not to do so on this sports blog (a truce I’d made with my man DAVID).
I apologize for any abrasiveness you may have felt from me last evening… but I WILL defend myself. And as such, I DO realize that you (and it’s your right) to DEFEND yourself. I’d rather we not talk politics, though.
I’d made a joke that was taken FAR too seriously (again, Mike E called my bluff/joke!), by being ridiculous about PC culture (avocados/race): my intention was ACCOMPLISHED! Crudely accomplished? YES.
And lastly, you are NOT my enemy, nor the other way around (my apologies for insinuating/calling you as such). Life’s far too short, good dude. This way comes something VERY wicked… it’s time to unite, my man.
I have always said that the fourth preseason game is the most important one to win… LOL
We need to carry the momentum over into the next game. The next time we see them it will count! GO DOLPHINS!
Yeah, would love to see this at home next week!!!
I wonder if that kick wins Sanders the job.
Missed from 53, made from 56.
How’d we look? Come home from a 14 hour day, and my power was out. Now it’s back thankfully.
You know they have power generated from power plants these days, capable of supplying power to thousands of houses at the same time. Time to upgrade to that new fangled city supplied ac power.
Only a few houses on the block were out, they were repairing something, they informed us it would happen, but I wasn’t home, so I didn’t know.
Wont bother with a replay of this game.
Curious to see the cuts next couple days.
1 more week and it’s on.
GO PHINS
I think you should watch it. How often do we score 34 points? 🙂
Mf13ss, I appreciate your sentiment and your apology.
I apologize to you, as well. I should have let the comments go especially since they were on the back end or in the middle of a conversation. I made an ASSumption (of myself).
However, I do have strong feelings about the massacre of our children in this free society, the abhorrent racism, and the divisiveness being encouraged and inspired from the “highest” levels of our nation. I will call out the injustice. I will not enable the behavior by being “sheepish.
I enjoy and immensely appreciate the football discussions, all things Dolphins, and the people I have met as a result of this blog. You have no idea how much I will miss the Fest this year. I suggest you make it a goal one year and I will buy you a beer.
are you Batman?
Did Osweiler look really good, or did the Falcons 2nd, 3rd or 4th stringers just look bad?
OD – Not sure I heard it correctly on my drive home last night as I caught the last couple of minutes of the game broadcast, but I’m pretty sure I heard the announcer say the Falcons lost all 4 games this preseason, as they did last year. Obviously, it doesn’t mean all that much as they not only made the playoffs last year, but won a playoff game too
Lot of worried people you saw playing last night today. Don’t think that includes Sanders though. That kick from 56 looked like it would have been good from 62 or 63.

@flasportsbuzz
Dolphins are releasing FAU rookie Greg Joseph, per source. So Jason Sanders is the Dolphins’ kicker. Darren Rizzi has said he believes both are NFL kickers.
8:40 AM – Aug 31, 2018
He’ll probably get a call at some point this season, hopefully quick for his sake.
A whole lot of kickers who will be on opening day rosters didn’t have camps as good as his.
D, living here on the panhandle, the only game I could get was the Saints game. Was that same for you? Did you watch? I see why the Saints traded Stephone Anthony. They have a bunch or good LB’s as their backups. They were flying around last night. I would keep an eye what LB the Saints release. I had my eye on one vet LB for the Saints who tore his ACL last year and thought he might get released but after his performance last night I think the Saints keep him. Nate Stupar had 7 tackles, 3 sacks, 1 INT, 1 fumble recovery and 1 pass deflected last night against the Rams. I was seeing his number everywhere last night. Again, I bet the Saints keep him as he has experience and seems fully recovered.
Paxton Lynch looked good last night also.
https://twitter.com/theflyingpig44/status/1035559465452482561?s=21
The Rams are built to win NOW. They are making a HUGE mistake with all of these deal$, in term$ of their future.
Investing in donald is a good idea though
I agree investing in Donald is a good thing, someone would have paid him that much if they didnt, BUT they are going to have to make a bunch of sacrifices. We know this all too well, and they already have a lot of other money tied up on that side of the ball and lots of them have contracts expiring next year. Its going to be tough to kepp that defense even mostly together.
But just for this season, that almost guarantees Suh wont be back with them, or perhaps Brockers is gone. Either way, there is no way they can keep that defense together past this year. They better be all in this year.
Agreed with both of ya, Pig and D.
Gase Post game
GOFINS!!!

So long as Mack doesn’t end up in the AFC East.
I would like to have Khalil Mack on our team, but i think our philosophy is going to be more average cost players instead of a few very pricey ones moving forward with this FO. There can be success in either one of those strategies, one is just harder to navigate.
I’m speaking more to him ending up with the Patsies*, stej, or Bills, Bro!
Yeah i knew what ya meant, i was just adding on that i wish we could get him. I really like him as a player. He is really dominant.

——————————————————
When i lived in PC we almost only got Dolphins games, even though TB was technically closer, and once the Jags came in, it was still Miami. I really miss that.
I have to do Sunday ticket if i want to see all or even most of the Phins games now because the local teams here are Saints and Falcons. I might get lucky and get 2-3 of the Phins games as a local broadcast a year here.
I was following along through a phone app this pre-season, when i got a chance to watch.
I could have sworn that we got Phins games pretty regular when i lived in PCola too, has that changed recently?
Ive been watching the Saits a good bit recently, especially after they signed Anzalone. I was a real big fan of his in college and i have met the guy a few times and he is a really good dude. There are some of my Gator players i move on past and dont keep up with after they leave the Gators but some of them, especially if i have had the chance to meet them, will be lifers for me.
Super Bowl bound saints?
I wonder
Who are the contenders this year?
Saints are considered to be likely for playoffs this year, i dont know how people feel about their odds of making the superbowl. I think Pats have the highest odds right now being given to them to make the superbowl. I think the Rams are way up there as far as likely to make it too. SF getting a lot of respect. Philly. Chargers even.
Early cuts already being reported and one of them will make Wyoming and Piggy hopeful.
WR Charles Johnson, FB Dimitri Flowers, OL Gino Gradkowski, LB David Bass, DL Kendall Reyes, OL Antonio Garcia, OL Darius James, LB Obum Gwacham, DL Xavier Cooper WR Griff Whalen P Shane Lechler RB Charles Sims LB Scooby Wright
I like Charles Sims a lot too, i think he is injured though, maybe its semi serious. He is better than Perry if he is healthy, on par with Ballage.
Antonio Garcia is a decent backup OG, Sims is a solid rotational RB, Wright a solid depth LB. If we wanted a more true FB Flowers was solid in college.
I’m off my Scooby snack habit

He was kinda entrenched on the depth chart there. Id say they got nice compensation for him too.
I wish they would expand NFL rosters to 60 players. They can keep the number of active players the same if they want to for games, but it would be really nice to have 60 players protected by contract (ie unable to be poached like the ones on the PS can) to provide more protection against on players getting hurt making you shake up your whole roster.
Yeah, with injuries seemingly more frequent these days, I’m not sure why rosters aren’t bigger.
But that is what the waiver wire and the PS system are about. You increase the roster and you will only be helping the better teams stash players.
Salary cap keeps things honest.. I dont see it being more exploitable for one team vs another.
But rooks come on the real cheap. A team like the Pats would keep and develop players that at some point could start for other teams. Just ask a few of their past QBs like Jimmy G.
Cutting Joseph was a classy move. He likely gets a shot with another team and now people can grab him up before the market gets saturated. Rizzi trying to help him out basically making sure the cut was known to be that kind of cut and not one where the dude was so bad we cut him immediately.

Super Bowl bound saints?
I wonder
Who are the contenders this year?
—————-
NFC: Rams, Vikings, and Eagles
AFC: Patsies* (barf!), Stealers*, and Bengals
I dunno… just off the top of me head. ALL of these teams are very strong.
My feeling is most likely 2 in the NFC will be the Rams and Eagles. Most likely in the AFC, im going with Jags and Pats. I think the comp level for the Steelers is higher than Pats and Jags who should pretty much have their divisions sewn up. I think we take one from the Pats, but i dont see the Bills or Jets beating them at all. Thats 5 wins they have sewn up right there and the rest of their schedule is not very difficult.
If Gills gets cut i would really like to bring him back too. He is definitely better than Perry and he is a good receiver and blocker to boot. Exactly the type of RB that Gase likes to have. I dont think he would unseat anyone else, but he is an upgrade that could come on the cheap.
His career is now going on life-support.
Us PSU fans had SO much hope in Hackenberg… both at State College and for his NFL future.
NOTSportsCenter @NOTSportsCenter
BREAKING: The NFL has informed the Buffalo Bills that they did not make the league this year and will be released as part of cutdown day
😆
LOL
I’ll go on record and say neither the Jags nor the Pats make the playoffs this year.
That’s a BOLD prediction! And I hope you’re right!
Nothing to do with our Fins but was looking at old NFL highlights. Man, I just loved watching this guy run. He was just flat out exciting to watch. You know when a WR goes up for a ball and takes it away from the defender they say “You got Mossed!”. Well, when someone gets juked out of their shows they should say “You got Sandered!”
Greatest RB of all-time, in my book.

I dont think the Bills or the pats have the future cap space to take on Mack…The Jets do but the asking price is way too high…two 1st rnders…? when he’s an UFA in March! ….no way.
tops for a trade is a 2nd rnder being that any team that trades for him would have to resign him immediately to a huge deal,
The Browns could pull that off
Then Khalil Mack has my blessings to go to Cleveland! He’d be the best Mack there since the days of Kevin Mack (GRINDING RB).
Kevin Mack and Earnest Byner… WHAT a tandem they were!
D, no, we only get Dolphins games when they are nationally televised. Most of our network stations are in Mobile, AL. ABC is the only network channel was have locally in Pensacola. My boss gets the Sunday ticket for me at work so I get to watch most of our games.
Son, UCF looked good last night. I have to give a shout out to our Pensacola team. University of West Florida is ranked #2 in Div II and beat 22nd ranked Carson Newman last night after losing their starting QB 3 plays into the game.
Never mind the 60 man roster, how about allowing all 53 on the roster to be dressed and eligible to play on Game Day rather than just the 46. WTF is that?
I don’t get that either. It’s stupid. You have to pay them but they can’t play. WTF!

Worked at the team sports area of a summer camp when was younger. If we had been out drinking late… every period was team dodge ball. Get hit and you went to the side in the shade. Wonder if the kids ever figured out why we were so easy to hit those days.
LOL
scooby wright got cut again.
so did Griff Whalen. They and Hackenberg might be out of chances.
Look up and down to my posts and you will find the list of reported cuts for all teams.
Hey Stanger
is cigarette smoking allowed in Hard Rock Stadium?
Outside no problem. Inside they have smoking areas at the top of the ramps to each section.
More cuts to add to my list above.
TE Nick Keizer RB Jarveon Williams RB Terry Swanson, OT Jaryd Jones-Smith, WR Quan Bray, WR Jester Weah, RB Lavon Coleman, WR Braxton Miller, OT David Quessenberry DE Carroll Phillips CB Demontre Hurst WR Jordan Leslie QB Christian Hackenberg DB Ron Parker CB Christian Campbell, TE Alec Bloom
Carroll Phillips was another one of Lou’s guys
Braxton Miller getting cut is kind of suprising. The Houston people have to be a little shocked by it as i think they were planning on him being a lock at WR for them.
So far if i had of players im at least a little bit interested in it would be Charles Sims. If we didnt have such depth at WR i might be interested in Braxton Miller (even though he is a real douche as a person) because there is some athletic upside to him. He has versatility and could be a potential emergency QB backup and could line up both as a 3rd down back and a slot receiver. I think though even some of the guys w will be cutting are better pure receivers than him though. I might would rather have Antonio Garcia over one of our bubble guys too, like Sterup, but im not even sure he will make our team.

They aren’t trying to shop him around “first”. They are keeping him, hoping that as time goes on, there will become a NEED for another team to acquire his services. WISE move by the Cardinals.

That article is 2 days old. Being they couldn’t find any suitors, they have decided to retain him instead of outright cutting him. WISE move by the Cardinals.
I’m not trying to be argumentative, I’m just sayin’… that’s why the Cardinals have chosen to keep him on their roster. There will come a need sooner than later… and they will get decent compensation once the need arrives.
RB Khalfani Muhammad, WR Paul Turner, OG Jason King LB Kevin Minter TE Pharaoh Brown
I know a lot here liked Breshad Perriman the year he came out. Sounds like he might get cut. Would any of you like to take a flyer on him or are you good with Ford as the 6th WR?
No I mean I do not want there to be any smoking where we are. Will there be cigarettes at the tailgating? And when Dog plays guitar?
Naples — get that it is a strong issue for you. You set up your feet rule on that and all will respect…. including me.

The QB coach (or otherwise) that can get Mike Glennon to quicken his release time, will reap major benefits. Can it be done? I dunno, but it’s certainly feasible on paper.
I’d seen SO MUCH Mike Glennon in my scouting of #1 (DAVID AMERSON). The kid has an arm and it should translate to success… again, on paper. Hence, some of the $$$ he’s made while being a relatively docile QB in the NFL.
I cannot vouch for what Glennon has from above the neck… again, I was more focused on AMERSON. But, Glennon has one helluva an arm. He is a ‘QB whisperer’s’ dream.
Yeah his problems is from the neck up and i dont think he has a ton of confidence in himself or making the close throws.
I tend to agree with ya, D… but I assume as much without really having followed him after his NC State days.
All I know is that Glennon has a wind-up like a Japanese pitcher (NOT being racist).
LB Kevin Minter got cut from the Jets. Is he still interesting for us?
I use to really want the guy for us, but i dont really think he has progressed much. He might be better depth than a couple of our depth guys, but i dont see him starting for us.
a little surprised at devier posey, but we don’t need another #6 WR anyway
Since we don’t have a QB who would be PS eligible, I would sign Riley Ferguson to our PS. They were interested in him as an UDFA.
a bust and we don’t need a DE, i’d rather try to keep Malveaux
Well, just had 8 Krystal burgers, loaded chili cheese fries and a LG coke. All I need is a good nap and this hangover will be a thing of the past. Only problem is we have 24 camera’s in our office. Only place to go nap where boss won’t see is the bathroom.
